"Complete casting has been announced for the new Scott Wittman-Marc Shaiman-Terrence McNally musical Catch Me If You Can, which will make its world premiere this summer at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre.
Directed by Jack O'Brien, the new musical based on the DreamWorks film of the same name and the autobiography by Frank Abagnale Jr. and Stan Redding will play the Seattle venue July 23-Aug. 16.
The cast will be headed by Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz as FBI Fraud Agent Carl Hanratty, Aaron Tveit as Frank, Tom Wopat as Frank Sr., Kerry Butler as Brenda, Linda Hart as Carol and Rachel deBenedet as Paula.
The ensemble will comprise Matt Wolfe, Timothy Piggee, Tod Branton, Clarke Thorell, Brandon Wardell, Angie Schworer, Romelda Benjamin, Anastica McClesky, Taryn Darr, Shanna Palmer, Jillana Laufner, Kyle Vaughn, Mo Brady, Jason Kappus, Karl Warden, Nick Wyman, Nikki Long and Joey Pizzi.
Catch Me If You Can was penned by Terrence McNally (book), Marc Shaiman (music) and Shaiman and Scott Wittman (lyrics). The musical, according to press notes, "is the unbelievable yet true story of Frank Abagnale, Jr., a sexy young con artist who posed, and was employed, as a doctor, lawyer and Pan Am pilot all before he was 21. Carl Hanratty, a middle-aged bored FBI agent, comes alive when assigned to catch this charming swindler whose check-forging skills have netted him more than $2.8 million. The battle of wills intensifies as they become curious about one another and begin to question what they're each chasing in their own lives..."

Posted: 3/12/09 at 6:46pmI am so happy for Aaron Tveit. He really is getting himself out there and has now secured two lead roles in two broadway bound musicals. His talent is amazing. Then there is the brilliant Norbert Leo Butz, Tom Wopat and Kerry Butler. What a stunning cast.
